Chapter 9: Night Attack

Balanced nutrition is important, and Yun Xiao knows this. In Dahan, nutrition is simply a blank. The only food in Yulin is those pig food that looks like snot, and slimy porridge and pickles that are as black as coal more than vegetables. Yun Xiao sniffed and stayed away from this thing.

The Yun family's Xiang Yong had already eaten and was building a tent with all his might. The food of the Yulin is still half-cooked in the pot, and the poor Yulin can only go hungry. Smelling the smell of food and working, the efficiency is so low that it is a mess.

Tian Wei smiled and followed Yun Xiao to Xiang Yong's camp, this guy now runs to Yun Xiao as long as he eats. Accustomed to a life of fine clothes and food, now let him eat those things that are difficult to swallow. It's like it was like his life, and now he and the "Royal Highness the Princess" have all their meals in the camp of Xiang Yong.

A small aluminum basin filled with noodles and topped with large pieces of beef. Yun Xiao and his generals surrounded the city in a circle, squatting on the ground like the villagers. There is a large bowl of delicate pickles in the middle, and everyone sucks the noodles and eats the pickles. No one has a glass of steamed wine, which you can take a sip of when it's cold and cold. It's a pleasure, the aches and pains in my body disappear immediately, and a night's rest immediately becomes vibrant.

Tian Wei squatted beside Yun Xiao, eating pickles and said, "Your family's food is also the top in the army, and you can make noodles in this winter." That is, follow your brother out, if it were someone else, I would not suffer this crime, and my feet were frozen and swollen. ”

"Don't complain, you are the queen's own brother. This trip out is gold-plated, as long as the person is sent to Zhangye. Take Yulin back home. You can't run away from the name of a Hou Ye. said okay, Hou Ke had to be treated. ”

Tian Wei took a sip of the Yun family's steamed wine and swallowed it comfortably.

"I didn't say it, brother, I made the Hou. Not only you, but one of the people here counts as one. Heaven and earth, my brother chartered the venue. ”

Seeing that Tian Wei said magnificently, Yun Xiao hurriedly coaxed: "Don't thank Uncle Guo, there is a thousand gold in heaven and earth." Uncle Guo chartered the venue, everyone can have a good time. ”

The family will hurriedly thank you.

The sky gradually darkened, and Yun Xiao and Tian Wei were the last to eat. Tian Wei took a pair of chopsticks and pickles, ready to drink it with the last bit of noodle soup in the basin. Suddenly, there was a muffled thunderclap. Tian Wei raised his head and looked at the sky.

". Why is there still thunder in this winter? ”

But when I lowered my head, I felt that something was wrong, and the basin on the ground was shaking. Looking at Yun Xiao's face again, his face has changed, and the generals are all like facing a great enemy. After two seconds of silence, Yun Xiao shouted, "Array." Array. There is an enemy attack. ”

The generals scattered. Nervously gathered their own team.

Hesitation is not yet time to rest. Xiang Yongzheng, who had just eaten, was setting up the unfinished tent in twos and threes. The armor on his body was not removed, and when he heard the whistle of the team leader and the team, he hurriedly got up and flew on his horse and began to assemble in a procession.

The usual training was not in vain, and the villagers gathered quite quickly. And the feather forest over there is also alert. But they were eating, and the formation was surprisingly inefficient.

The sky directly south suddenly exploded with a burst of fire, and the Yun family's Xiangyong had already finished lining up. Yun Xiao stood on a tall chariot, observing the movement of the battlefield. In the darkness of the night, the power of the telescope was greatly reduced, and even the scouts in the distance did not hear the number of enemy troops. However, judging from the vibration of the surface, there should be no less than 3,000 horsemen coming.

In the dark of night, it is absolutely unclear to send your own army out to meet the enemy.

"A hundred paces in front of the trebuchet threw triangular nails, and each team lined up in a line ready to shoot the enemy."

Yun Xiao's order was quickly conveyed by the heralds, and the sound of trebuchets rang behind him.

"Boom, boom...... More than a dozen large cloth bags were thrown out, and a clanging metal crash sounded in the distance. Each of these bags has a thread tied to the trebuchet that will disintegrate as soon as you pull the thread. The triangular nails inside will be spilled everywhere because of inertia.

"Four hundred steps to throw a block of fire."

The wringing of the machinery sounded again, and a dozen pieces of wood that had been set on fire were thrown by the trebuchet. There are more bright spots on the horizon. Soon the bright spot was swallowed up, countless horses' hooves stepped over from above, and the Yun family's Xiangyong was divided into four rows.

The first three rows are armed with iron-tired crossbows, and the last row is armed with bows and arrows and rides on horses. As soon as the shadow crossed the point of light, the iron-tired crossbow roared away from the crossbow string. The cavalry that stormed it was as if the waves had touched the reef and turned into pieces. Many of the men and horses in the front row fell, but the bright spots only flashed for a moment, and more cavalry blocked their light.

The first row retreated to reload, the second row followed and continued to shoot, followed by the third row. This is Yun Xiao's method of arranging crossbow arrows according to the three-stage strike variant. This allows the slow-loading iron-tired crossbow to maximize its range and continuously strike at the enemy.

I don't know which part of the cavalry on the opposite side is, but it doesn't seem to be as elite as the Hun cavalry. At this distance, there should be arrows shot by the Condor Shooters. And these cavalry who rushed over didn't seem to have any reaction, only knowing that there was no intention of firing bows and arrows at all.

Who could this be? Could it be the Qiang people? With their tattered equipment, Yun Xiao regretted using such a big battle. Because if you use these triangular nails on them, there is a good chance that you will lose money.

"Trebuchet, two hundred steps to throw blocks of firewood without stopping."

No matter where the cavalry on the opposite side were, their courage was commendable. Rushing forward with arrows, Yun Xiao needed to provide a better vision environment for the crossbowmen.

No sooner had they thrown two rounds of flintwood blocks than the enemy approached the flaming blocks. Then the dark shadow of the light, the crossbowmen quickly aimed and fired. The archers on their horses behind them also began to shoot freely with their bows and arrows.

Hail of arrows rained down on the charging ranks, and the fallen knights were immediately trampled into meat sauce by the horses behind them. It's such a dark night, and no one can know what's ahead. All of them rushed into the darkness with their senses, and they couldn't even see the enemy. I don't know at what moment I'm going to hit them.

Now they were greeted only by the constant arrows fired in the darkness, and in the same darkness they did not know who had been shot and who was still charging.

The block of firewood was compressed again to a range of 100 paces, and the cold light from the triangular nails could even be faintly seen in the light of the fire.

Strange things happened, and all the knights felt that something was wrong with the war horses under their crotches. Then they felt like they were flying out, and then they had an intimate encounter with Mother Earth. Many people were thrown so hard that they couldn't get up. The guy who fell the furthest even threw out more than twenty steps, and after a series of rolls on the ground, he stopped moving.

The trebuchet was constantly throwing blocks of firewood, making light for the crossbowmen. Every point of light thrown was a death-like summoning, and some of the unlucky ones were actually hit by a block of firewood. It is estimated that the bones have long been shattered into slag.

Finally someone began to break through the spread of the triangle and start the final sprint. But they've lost too many people, and these guys obviously can't do it at scale.

After rushing a hundred steps, the Yun Hometown Warriors began to be attacked. Someone kept snorting, much to the surprise of Yun Xiao. They flew not with bows and arrows, but with stones or polished stones. The stones thumped against the armor of the villagers, and even through the iron helmets could shake people's heads dizzy.

Being able to throw fist-sized rocks so far and with so much power looks like these are amazing arm strengths.

Screams rang out from the Yulin camp not far away, and these heartless guys actually greeted the enemy with torches. The formation itself was chaotic, and the cavalry pointed out the goal. The scattered cavalry pounced on them like mosquitoes attracted by the light.

The Donghu people are very quiet, and their play is very steady. At the first moment, he mounted his horse, whipped his horse and fled into the darkness.

A fire began to ignite in the camp of the Yulin guards, caused by the fact that a cavalry had set the tent on fire with torches falling after killing Yulin. The light of the fire in the dark night made the camp of Yulin more obvious. Yun Xiao raised his binoculars and noticed that these cavalrymen had a variety of weapons. Dung forks, broadswords, maces and almost everything, and they had no armor on them. There was only a leather robe, which was worse than when Yun Xiao first met Batu.

After a wave of cavalry rushed over, the feathers did not wait to recover. Like locusts, the stones flew over and smashed the dizzy feather forest to the north, south, west, and north. With the fire as the background light, no matter how Yulin dodged, they were attacked as if they were targets.

Many people were directly hit in the head, and the cowhide helmet of the Yulin guards was not comparable to the Yun family's iron helmet with lining. Many Yulin were smashed by rocks and their brains burst, and these sneak attackers seemed to have discovered that Yulin was easy to bully. Gradually, they gave up the military formation that rushed into Yunxiao, and all of them rushed to the camp of the Yulin guards.

It only lasted for less than half an hour, and more than half of the eight hundred Yulin had already been injured. More than a dozen bloodied feather forests escorted Tian Wei into Yun Xiao's camp, if it weren't for their big red helmet cherry blossoms, they were unusually conspicuous. In the dark, he may be killed by Xiang Yong by mistake.

Tian Wei was also unlucky enough, and as soon as he rushed back to Yulin's camp, a cavalry rushed in. Then the tent was lit, and he didn't have any chance to command. The rocks fell from the sky, but his guards raised their shields to keep the boy safe. However, many of his guards were smashed to the point of shattering their brains.

"Brother Yun save me." Tian Wei hugged Yun Xiao with a crying voice, and never called Brother Yun again. (To be continued......)
